White Denim are one of these fun, offbeat bands that you discover randomly but then take a solid place in your music collection from there on out. I have their substantial discography on my r4i card at all times. The trippy four-piece from Austin, Texas are great band to attach the term 'experimental' to. Their music is said to draw influence from a wide range of genres, including: dubstep, psychedelic rock, blues, punk rock, progressive rock, soul, jazz and experimental rock. Their latest album 'D' featured at number 46 on Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums of 2011 list, and is described as ripping "through indie rock, psych blues, punk country and hippie boogie in hard-driving punk-pastoral garage jams", and I can't think of any description to better cover it. It's been a highly acclaimed album of the year, and its sort of genre-mash-up means it will appeal to fans of many different areas of the music spectrum.

Christopher Marlowes’s ‘The Tragical History of Doctor Faust’ has been the subject of considerable theological debate over the last century. The point of contention is whether the play challenges or supports the Calvinist doctrine of absolute predestination, a doctrine which was a one controversial in the latter half of the sixteenth century in England. Calvin asserted that predestination entailed that God will elect some people to be damned and some to be saved, the individual having no control over their ultimate fate. Many anti-Calvinists in the sixteenth century disputed the doctrine of pre-destination as it was too limiting on man’s free will in regard to faith and salvation. The doctrine of pre-destination had recently been accepted as the orthodox position of the Church of England when Doctor Faustus was performed. Though accepted by the Puritan establishment, the doctrine was still the source of heated debate between Calvinist and anti-Calvinist scholars. The dispute had reached its zenith by the time Marlowe was a student and thus very likely influenced him. Why not use your cheapsmells discount codes to purchase Doctor Faustus and see what you think?

What is the best thing about the internet? is it that we can communicate with loved ones all around the world with just the push of a button, attached to the fact that it is lower price than anything we’ve seen before? Is it that we are able read news as it happens, rather than a day late the way our parents used to read the news? Or perhaps it’s that it allows us instant access media forms that before we would have had to wait one week for on mail order? Whichever of these options you chose, it doesn’t matter. Why not? Because you’re quite simply wrong. You haven’t really thought through the major problems in life before the internet was developed. Did i need to spend 6 hours making a video call to my long lost Aunt half way across the world? No. Did our parents ask for their news papers to be delivered as the news was breaking? No. Did we refuse to use mail order catalogues because it would take too long? No. Then what’s the best thing about the internet? 24/7 to lotto results UK Stupid!

Rollerskating, rollerblading and ice skating are fantastic ways to keep active, keep fit and be good to your body. As winter is fast approaching, why not hit the ice? Skating improves joint flexibility. If you have creaky joints, particularly in your legs, skating will vastly improve suppleness and flexibility with a great work out on your legs. It will also help build muscles. Your legs may be skinny twigs or chunky trunks, but whatever they are skating will help to tone and build muscle. Skating focuses on lower body movement and great exercise on all your leg muscles, building them up slowly over time. It's not just your legs that will benefit, skating is great for your cardiovascular system too. It might not seem like the best form of exercise to get your heart racing, but an intense skating session can give a real work out to your heart and lungs. Your balance will hugely improve with skating too - traveling across a slippery or uneven surface on a blade or wheels will train your body to keep upright and stay on your feet! So put down your games consoles and carte r4s and get out there and get skating! Photo: Stuck in Customs (Flickr)

I am always losing or breaking my phone, it’s absurd. I don’t like to reflect on how many mobile phones I’ve gone through over the years but if I were to, I don’t think I could even hazard a guess at the quantity. The first mobile phone I had was a brick-like Ericson, the loss of which was not actually my fault. Showing off it’s antennae and flip button cover when on the bus home from school I suddenly felt my phone being plucked out of my hand and whisked off the bus. It was all too quick for me to do something about it and even if it had occurred in slow motion, I was much too much an underdeveloped twiglet to have done anything about it. My second mobile phone met a sad urinated death at a house party when it plummeted into the toilet as I stood up to turn around post-pee. Yes I did brave my bodily waste and fished it out but it was too late, another phone had gone. My third phone I believe I simply left on the underground, a lucky find for another individual but I won’t pretend there was any benevolence in my action, just sheer absent-mindedness. Lucky for me, I merely go to Three.co.uk/store and get another!
